Original, Epic, Great acting, Must see, Riveting

See it if You love historical epics and excellent puppetry. Very emotionally draining, but worth it. Ensemble shines. You'll forget they are puppets.

Don't see it if You're not prepared for a dramatic, gripping, emotional WWI tale. There are no obvious stars either, this is a true ensemble show.

Enchanting, Original, Great staging, Entertaining, Epic

See it if you're a fan of the Lion King & want to see more animals come to life on stage in a more dramatic show. This is much better than the film.

Don't see it if you're put off by the somewhat cliched premise of a boy who just loves his horse.

Intense, Refreshing, Ambitious, Great staging

See it if you're looking for a serious play with innovative staging. The work with puppets is well executed.

Don't see it if you want something lighter and more comedic.
